UPDATE (Aug. 6, 2025)

We were restricted from posting the AHA data in a public repository. However we had separately digitized data from the AHA for the years 1948 to 1969. We now post those data here, in a zipped Stata dataset, "aha_1948_1969.zip". That file is not used directly by the replication code in this repository. Instead, we are providing it so that other researchers may have access to the data we digitized.

We ask that researchers using these data provide an acknowledgment, such as with the following statement and bibliographic reference:

Historical data from the American Hospital Association were obtained from Chung, Andrea, Martin Gaynor, and Seth Richards-Shubik (2016).
